iQOO 9 SE 5G (Space Fusion, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage) | Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 | 66W Flash Charge

Posting This After 8 Days of Continous Usage:

I came from Oneplus 5t that too because last to last week I had an accident and my 5t has dead on the spot.
After watching a lot of reviews on Youtube and Amazon, I thought I should give it a chance.

First Impression:-
• As you all know OP 5t has small display so it’s hard for first 3-4 days to use/Typing because of big display.
• A little heavy but that could be because of upgraded species and battery from my last 5t.
• Solid built but it if it’s metal build then it will be more beautiful.
• Space fusion color is looking killer.
• Flash charger works awsome but charger design can be improved
• Display is crisp and clear but but in dark apps (i.e, chrome, brave, linkdin etc) you’ll notice a color change (from Black to Greyish color) that gives a cheap feel and I don’t know if it’s a software or hardware issue.

Actual Review:-

• While gaming (Call of duty:mobile) has some lags and bugs and there is no option to block notification/calls even after mute notification ONN everything is coming on screen and it’s very frustrating and annoying.

• Battlefield mobile ground, Asphalt 9, Clash of Clans, Battle Royale are working flowless.

• Some apps like Flipkart and Airtel gives some error (screen zoom automatically while opening) might be because of android 12 or something else.

• Now this is very weird that this phone reset a few setting automatically themselves when I don’t want that. I don’t want to set them everyday before using my phone (i.e, I am using Bouncer to remove app permission when not in use and this phone remove accessibility setting even after batter optimization and background run.
While listing to music I want paranomic 360 sound but it reset to default automatically.

• Gesture are not working fine, this can be fixed with future updates.

• I admit that funtouch OS has some more customization then Oxygen OS but it is missing some basic customization feature like I cannot change accent color, shape, size and the default one is looking very cheap must be because Oneplus oxygen OS is in my eyes but I am not overcome from oxygen OS, Oxygen Os is lub

• Funtouch OS is very uncomfortable for me for the first 4-5 days but now I’m getting it a little.

• Less feature in gaming mode in comparison to Iqoo 7

Camera:-
• Average as of now takes good picture in night/evening time and selfie camera is awsome.
• OIS works good as per the budget and gives value for money.
• Day time picture are good but something it changes the saturation/color by itself automatically.

• No heat observed while gaming/doing heavy task (minimal heat that every phone has now a days and it is 40°c outside so this is not a big deal for me.
• Screen recorder and mic works awsome
• Crisp clear display except the issue I told above
• 6-7 SOT in one charge (0-100)
• 42-44 minutes charging time (0-100)
• No bugs lags observed till date
• 120Hz refresh rate made it monster
• Some preinstalled bloatware can be uninstall but some has to be force stop only or you can use Adb commande to remove permanently.
• A few apps are unnecessary like browser and a screen (virus scan) comes just after install an app from play store that very annoying and somehow I stopped that.
• Speaker volume is sufficient (enoug loud in a room)

Conclusion:-

In 31k it’s worth for money with Snapdragon 888 processor and intelligent chip.
Only thing that I don’t like is funtoch os because it not gives a premium flagship phone experince.
Has some bugs as of now (i.e, In gaming mode, in a few apps, camera, Display) that might fixed with future updates.
Overall worth for money, And Yes you can pick it over Oneplus 9RT (like I said you’ll probably feel bad for a week with it’s Funtoch Os but you’ll be okay with it after sometime.
Just because of oxygen os spending 8-10k is not a great idea I think.

Very good 👍😊

Great specs for the budget. Solid performance. Decent camera. Can’t go wrong with this purchase decision. Fun touch OS is only weak point I could say. OS Need to improve but it’s not bad by any means. Will definitely recommend

Value for money
